Consolidated Edison (Con Edison) rates

Peak hours on Con Edison SC-1 Rate III: 2 pm–6 pm, on weekdays in summer. Con Edison has 2 residential plans modeled here. For a typical New York home using 586 kWh a month, the cheapest plan open to any household is SC-1 Rate I, at about $223 a month.

New York has retail choice. Prices on this page are all-in: Con Edison’s delivery charges plus its default supply (the rate you pay if you have not chosen a supplier, often called the “price to compare”). If you buy supply from a retail supplier, Con Edison still bills delivery and the supplier’s price replaces the supply part, so the supply rate alone is well below the all-in price shown here.

How Con Edison’s plans work

SC-1 Rate I (Residential Service, New York City). In July the first 250 kWh a month cost 35.2¢ each; then 37.8¢ above 250 kWh a month. An average New York home (784 kWh in July) goes past the first tier, so extra load such as an EV is priced higher. Fixed charge: $23.91 a month.

SC-1 Rate III (Voluntary Time-of-Day, New York City). Mid-peak 8 am–2 pm, Peak 2 pm–6 pm, Mid-peak 6 pm–12 am on July weekdays; 4 of 24 hours carry the top price of 122.9¢. The cheapest July weekday hour costs 15.4¢, so moving 1 kWh out of the top hours saves 107.5¢. January weekdays range from 18.6¢ to 31.9¢. Weekends differ: Mid-peak 8 am–12 am. Fixed charge: $23.91 a month.

Prices on this page are all-in per kWh, before taxes: base rates, supply and every per-kWh rider in the utility’s current tariff sheets. Your bill shows them as separate lines, and riders can change between tariff revisions.

As a cross-check, Con Edison billed its residential customers an average of 36.74¢ per kWh in 2025 (revenue ÷ sales, EIA-861). A plan taken from URDB is shown only if its all-in price is consistent with that figure, adjusted for New York’s price change since.
